If I don't have a backspace key then I'll get in the habit of doing "<- del" or "shift <-" and retype.

In middle school, we had typing class, and I got a lot of grief for that - but I never broken the habit. Other than that, though, I type "normally."
I only use the left shift key with my pinky.
If I cleaned my keyboard there'd be a huge amount of dust collected as I went over the right shift key.

« on: October 22, 2008, 07:03:07 pm »I honestly thought the record was 150 for an hour straight. But I guess I am misinformed.
Maddi, you miss my point:
How come I could barely get 135 on that last test which took maybe three quarters of a minute, and I take this one for three minutes straight and get nearly 10wpm higher?
Free internet typing tests may make you feel good, but they're in no way, shape or form very accurate or useful as a test of your abilities. What if I type faster when I am thinking of what I am going to type? What if these types of tests (ones where you write what you read) I do poorly at?
Yes I'm aware.
I do know that I can type the alphabet abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz in 1.9 seconds.

Yeah I'm sure you do.

« on: October 22, 2008, 06:41:35 pm »Yeah, my highest score on that one is 135 I think.
First try on a laptop with a keyboard I'm unfarmilar with (CTRL+BACKSPACE doesn't work like that on a Mac!) in which I took probably close to a second to drag my mousepad to the "stop timer" button. So eh I'm not really impressed. :/
And iago: I never use the right shift key.
1 mistake = try again
Has to be perfect.
It's actually really easy to fake your score in this.
Can get like 8000 wpm.

« on: October 22, 2008, 05:59:15 pm »The thing is, though, no matter how you use a qwerty keyboard, the keys are still spaced inefficiently. It was designed to limit typing speeds. It's impressive that you're able to attain (and hopefully sustain?) 130 WPM using it.
I have a friend who has been using Dvorak since she learned how to type. I'd like to see what speed she can get to.
I'm only able to get 100-110 using conventional qwerty. I would really like to switch to Dvorak.
(This is intended for the programmer-types): I've seen "Programmer's Dvorak" layouts. I assume that this means they place semi-colon, braces, parenthesis, etc closer to homerow than on conventional Dvorak, but I'm not sure. Have any of you guys tried it out?
Well I don't see how QWERTY would limit typing speeds.
Homerow is highly over-rated.

« on: October 22, 2008, 03:44:53 pm »Are you using Dvorak or something? Barbara Blackburn, who was (is?) the world record holder for highest sustained WPM was only about 170 wpm, and she was using Dvorak, which typically increases typing speeds by about 70%.
No. I have my own unique typing style with my sexy QWERTY.
I do ~100wpm on "difficult" text (ie, Shakespearean).

Yeah, my highest score on that one is 135 I think.
